Pallavi: O Mortal! Worship only Raghuvira! He is a doughty warrior wielding the Kodanda, Son of Dasharatha.

Judge your thoughts are consistent with your duties. Mere wandering here and there and indiscriminate association cannot bring you wisdom. 4: Eschew undesirable ways. Do not become a tiger in cow's skin. 5: Avoid dissembling and imposing on others and concentrate on transcending the ocean of the Samskara. 6: Dedecate all your actions to Shrihari and delight in performing worthy actions. 7: Seek to know the path of devotion and associate only with exalted devotees. 8,9: Worship the Lord who dispels illusions and meditate on him with profound involvement. 10: Know that this Supreme God incarnated as the king of the kings, who bestows boons on Tyagaraja. O Mortal worship...
